The Kinora is a kind of mutoscope in which a sequence of small photographic prints, rotated by a handle, flicks past a lens in rapid succession, giving the impression of a moving subject. It was invented by the Lumière brothers in Paris ca. 1896, and was popularised in Great Britain by the Kinora company, 1902-1914
